This book was pretty much sheer new adult perfection. Books like this are why I love new adult as much as I do.  Winter was a fantastic heroine. She was strong and driven. She hasn't had an easy time in life and has learned to fend for herself, without relying on anyone else. They only let her down. Her walls are up and locked tight. She's ready to move onto the next phase of her life and leave all of this behind. Cade is like a big monkey wrench in her plans and she tries to avoid getting involved with him. She's so close to escaping. She can't have any distractions right now. But, Cade is tough to resist.  Cade is officially my new favorite book boyfriend. For this week, at any rate. He was just adorably sweet. And, you know, he cooks and bakes, which is just plain hot. Cage is a nurturer, a provider. He's been taking care of his sister and her daughter for a long time. He cares deeply and is incredibly loyal to those who loves. He might look like a tough guy, but underneath he's all heart. This is why he can't help but step in when he perceived Winter as being in trouble at work one night. Of course, she's fiercely independent and doesn't need his help. Or so she thinks.  Winter and Cade were just perfect together. I loved the speed at which their relationship developed. It was real and believable. Not only did they have great chemistry, but they were good for each other. They challenged each other when needed. They helped each other grow. I was completely enraptured with them and every thing about their story, even in those moments where I wanted to shake sense into them. Caged in Winter was a beautifully-written, gorgeous and emotional read. Brighton's writing style and her characters speak to me on a level that most books don't. The love story was wonderful and the character development was incredible. This book was sweet and sexy and filled with so many fantastic moments. It shouldn't be missed. I can't wait for the next book in this series, Tessa Ever After. It can't get here soon enough.  I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
